Stila Perfect Me, Perfect Hue Eye & Cheek Palette X2

Stila does not get enough love. Their packaging is always so beautifully luxurious and while their regular prices are mid range, when on sale, can fall directly into drugstore territory. I am neither light/medium nor tan/deep but these colors spoke to me. The base color in the light/medium palette is a perfect match for my […]

Kiko Milano Design Flower Blush & Highlighting Drops $15 Shipped

I’m very pleased with my first purchase from Kiko Milano. I’ve been following the brand on Instagram ever since one of their blushes caught my eye. Kiko Milano, price wise, runs about lower mid range with many of their sale items neatly tucked in to what you might consider drugstore prices. The winner for me […]

It Cosmetics Travel Sized Brush Kit

If you’re as blind as I am without my glasses then you know the struggle. Exactly how close can I get my face to mirror? Well, with travel sized brushes you can get extreeemely close. These are nice, not “revolutionize the makeup tool world” nice but definitely “better than drugstore brands” nice. The synthetic bristles […]

theBalm How ‘Bout Them Apples? Palette

Well, this is the cutest thing ever. Generally I like theBalm’s aesthetic although their products are a hit or miss for me. While wandering the beauty aisle at Burlington Coat Factory I did find quite a few of the How ‘Bout Them Apples? cheek and lip cream palette. I’ve never really used a cream blush […]

These are each $29 regularly. $29!!! Each!!! These babies are going right into the gift closet for teacher appreciation presents 🙂 […]

HSN – $20 Deal :)

I received my deal from HSN! Woop! I paid $20 shipped for the Benefit Hydrating Concealer in 01 and the black Beauty Blender Pro. Both of these items retail for $20 each so 1/2 price with free shipping works for me. There was also a coupon for $10 of my next $10 purchase. Can anyone […]

The Vamp Stamp?

I am usually not interested in fad type items, no silisponges in my collection! However I took a second and third look at the Vamp Stamp after seeing Stephanie Nicole’s review on Youtube. The kitten version was out, a much smaller, beginner type sized wing (compared to their medium and large), part of the proceeds […]

Blush Tour 7/24/2017

I have a love/hate relationship with blush. Even back in the 90s I wasn’t a fan of the heavy sunburned cheeks look. Slowly I’ve started experimenting with a bit of it here and there, trying to figure out which colors I like best and working on placement. Favorite: Fiona Stiles Soft Cheek Veil in Sweetwater. […]

Urban Decay Birthday Freebie

Urban Decay will send you a coupon for a free birthday gift when you sign up for their free to join, Urban Decay Beauty Junkies program. My birthday was actually in May, I signed up for an account in June and in July I received the coupon by email. I had expected to wait until […]

Highlighter Tour 7/21/2017

Here’s a tour of my very basic highlighter collection. The first one I bought was Benefit’s Manizer Sisters (Mary-Lou is my favorite). Favorite: Stila Heaven’s Hue Highlighter in Kitten. It’s more of a cream consistency and gives a great wet look to the skin. Indie love: I pressed both the Hello Waffle Cat Me If […]
